Default Cheap 782

There is a 782 on fleapay going for $255, but the engine smokes. I don't know what motor comes in a 782, nor how feasible it is to rebuild one. To tell you the truth, I know very little about the 82 series at all. This tractor is about 250 miles from me, don't know if it would be worth it or not. Another thought is that I need a deck and 3 point for my 149, and this 782 has both. With the price I see people paying for parts on fleapay, would it be worth buying it for the parts I need, then parting out the rest? Any thoughts welcome.

I'd fix the 782 and sell the 149. The 782 is a much nicer tractor than a 149 in my opinion. There's enough people parting stuff out already...

Does it have a series I or series II engine? If it has a series II, it can be rebuilt and is worth it. A series I cannot be rebuilt. If it has a series I, you can replace it with a series II, Kohler Magnum 18 or Kohler Command 18 or many other engines.

Gotta agree...once you take a spin on that smokin 782, it'll be tuff to get back on your 149. Don't let the 255 price fool you, i'd be way surprised if it didn't go for double that.

For the prices I have seen others go for, if you got it for under $400 it would still be a deal!

That's a nice low serial number. Buy it, run it til the engine dies and put in a series II or mag 18

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
